  2. German for several decades has not been at population replacement rate. A 25% reduction in population of workers is going to cause chaos.

  3.  @Vmurmur  How does automation buy products.

  4.  @thermite547  Once a decline starts it will cause instability which will feed into the decline and so on. In a normal economy that has a stable population an economic crisis has a balance which is a productive population that can buy and produce.

  7.  @TheMrCougarful  Sorry but no consumer no production. It is not a technical problem it is a lack of people. Germany has to shrink its production to match consumption.

  13.  @a5cent  There are about 14 million 50 to 60 year olds and only 8 million 40 to 50 year olds to replace them. Germany since 1970 has had a birth rate below population replacement. The evidence is there but people just want to pretend it is not happening. The thing is it is happening.

  14. Prediction? Germany has not been having children at a replacement rate for 50 years in the next decade the cost of that comes into effect. There is going to be escaping it.
